Revealed: Kareena Kapoor Khan’s character in ‘Udta Punjab’

Kareena Kapoor Khan‘s first look from ‘Udta Punjab’ was recently revealed wherein she is seen posing in a doctor’s uniform. Just when we were all praise for the Begum’s intense and impressive avatar, we came to know about her character in the film.

During the trailer launch of the film, Kareena defined her role as “short, sweet but effective”.

Mumbai Mirror quoted a source saying, “She plays a Punjabi kudi in the film and was given hair extensions for a long choti. The material for her salwar kurtas was purchased in Amritsar itself and she wore sweaters with buttons down the front like the ones local girls wear. Being a Punjabi herself, she took a break from her stringent diet to happily tuck in kaali dal and aloo kulcha during the shoot.”

Kareena, in the film, is a doctor who helps drug-addicts get back to a normal life. After someone else dear to her loses out to this addiction, she is determined to rescue as many lives as possible. This is how she lands amidst conflict with a drug mafia.

Needless to say, Kareena’s character is going to add another dimension to the film. Also, after the 2007 film ‘Jab We Met’, this is the first time that she and her former beau Shahid Kapoor will be seen in one film again.

Directed by Abhishek Chaubey, ‘Udta Punjab’ is slated to release on June 12.
